"Judy, you forgot drunken sheep orgies and cheese eating contests." For the sake of clarity, so I will not commit a faux paux next time, do I get drunk or do I get my sheep date drunk at these events? If the latter please advise on the formula for meadow-grass margaritas. --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, Peter <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > > --- authfriend <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, "nablus108" > > wrote: > > > > > Judy; is this relevant to FF.

He starred in a favourite of mine that takes place in Northern Quebec...Scott plays an Inuit and Ann Parrillaud a Metis (half Indian on the mother's side and half White)...it's called "Map of the Human Heart" and he's wonderful in it.

It's one of the most real and horrific scenes I have ever > seen at the movies. My favorite's the one with the old Jamaican lady. That just blows me away. But those are the showy scenes, relatively speaking. There are lots of subtle moments that are just astonishingly good. Pitt *underplays* the role; I don't think I've ever seen Cruise underplay, and I'm not sure he could. His acting is all on the surface, it seems to me, whereas Pitt's comes from the inside. Not that Cruise doesn't usually do a good job, but imagine him trying to play Joe Black! Pitt (or the director) was smart enough to know flash would kill it, and that he had the stuff not to have to rely on flash. On the other hand, I don't know if Pitt could do Jerry McGuire as well as Cruise. I'd like to see Clint Eastwood direct Pitt. They haven't done anything together yet, have they? You know who's another underappreciated actor? Jason Scott Lee, who played Bruce Lee (no relation) in "Dragon: The Bruce Lee Story." The film is kind of a potboiler, but Lee's performance is worth sitting through it. (I'm sure martial arts people are not entranced; Lee had never done any before the film). Great scenes with good old Nancy Kwan, much better as a character actress than she ever was as an ingenue. Anyway, he's Chinese-American, so I guess there aren't many lead roles for him, which is a shame.

Funnily, the thing that strikes me most in that film is the scene near the beginning where the pre-death Pitt character gets hit by a bus. It's one of the most real and horrific scenes I have ever seen at the movies.

It's very long and very slow and very talky, and you have to be *very* relaxed to sit through it. But he has some genuinely transcendent scenes that give me goose bumps.

Sadly, it's also unfair. Both Cruise and Brad Pitt don't get enough credit for their acting because of their good looks. In fact, I believe that Tom Cruise should have got the Oscar for "Rain Man" instead of Dustin Hoffman. His "straight man" role was much harder and more complex to do than the predictable handicapped spotlight role Hoffman got. And I'm amazed at how good Pitt is in things such as "Snatch" where he played a mumbling Irish Gypsy prizefighter or "Troy" in which he played Achilles where his physicality alone should have won him the Oscar.
